Abstract
A heat recovery generator has a housing defining a horizontally oriented exhaust gas stream. The exhaust gas stream passes through a first heat recovery unit having horizontally oriented heat transfer tubes and forced circulation of a heat transfer fluid therethrough. The exhaust gas stream then is passed through an air pollution control assembly having a catalyst for reduction of exhaust emissions. The exhaust gas stream is subsequently passed through a second heat recovery steam generator having vertically oriented heat transfer tubes and natural circulation therethrough.
